mircea_popescu: "today bitcoin core is so far diverged from bitcoin i have no idea why anyone even mentions it"
mircea_popescu: cazalla : it only imported gpg based identities, not bitcoin address based.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla is it possible ratings got lost over the import ?
mircea_popescu: decimation foundation didn't do reporting at the time, remember ? col brian foley, for all you know.
mircea_popescu: cazalla it's the case for the -10 to rozal (id 37459 on gribble wot) for instance.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i missed ratings i made after gribble went down, on gribble's wot. like for instance the phantomcircuit one i discovered missing yest, was made in february.
mircea_popescu: if this isn't disarray i have nfi what is. these people don't even have a forum, a venue where to discuss their shit.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo jesus christ the deluge of verbiage from these people. that two line call-out in #bitcoin-dev has produced almost a million lines of derpage, on irc, on reddit, on personal blogs, everywhere.
mircea_popescu: cazalla that's photochopped. i can tell by some pixels.
mircea_popescu: no, computing. "the only way to run a computer today is with an intel itanium running debian"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody asks intel. the idea was, if FOSS actually can deliver on the promises it makes, then it takes over at that juncture.
mircea_popescu: (and it didn't really work well enough - which was perhaps correctly blamed on the proc)
mircea_popescu: the itanic thing was perhaps the breaking point for FOSS, in retrospect.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reason for this is because we're not big enough yet lol. "the next builders of roads once the romans croak will still not be the huns". well.... yes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, is my discussion of water captive in a glass part of the 7 ?
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, soft guarantees can be extractred from the unloving tits of mother nature, and so they will be.
mircea_popescu: so yeah, we don't have, nor can we get just yet, the hard guarantees we'd like, and it'd altogether seem we're entitled to, by the shape of the space of logical possibility.
mircea_popescu: the only way to gain immunity to them is to not be one.
mircea_popescu: same reason intel's fundamentally unconcerning : all greedy algorithms are vulnerable to other greedy algorithms. that's what it means.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "fuck intel, we will subsidize X, because we are so big and powerful we can just crush it outright"
mircea_popescu: incidentally, who would win a fight between bitcoin jesus and bitcoin godfather ?
mircea_popescu: maybe in the future it'll be "no, really, if you made a movie it's not your movie", but i think that's more than a graph node away.
mircea_popescu: for now it'll be "no, really, you can't take wikileaks dump down. even if it does 'endanger the lives of agents'".
mircea_popescu: really, it's not intended as a thing to fuck with people from. it's intended as a thing where to be safe from people fucking with you.
mircea_popescu: i can see the case, i tell you. quentin tarantino makes a new movie, it's on your box before release, he comes here and goes OMFGWTFBBQ what am i supposed to say ? fuck you, give us free shit ?
mircea_popescu: if they come here and make a good case, they'd get it. if not... nothing.
mircea_popescu: shit. now i gotta come up with an opinion on this subject
mircea_popescu: bittorrent is legitimate. dmca altogether depends. what exactly ?
mircea_popescu: mats you know there was an entire paysite dedicated to the concept of pizza-surprise.
mircea_popescu: mod6 nono, it's good. creates a record, we have it for 5 years later when we've foprgotten
mircea_popescu: mats, too frail to be a ranger, to slow to be a troll... is there no place under the sun left for him ?
mircea_popescu: which incidentally - if anyone wants to sysadmin an aws-style offering on top of bisp metal, please get in touch. i'm open to the idea, we'd have to discuss how it would work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude this shit, where i say something and it gets confirmed two lines down. ima go have a drink.
mircea_popescu: the only thing that does is, prevent him from healing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness, this is a trope of contemporaneity. thoroughly broke "feminist" graduate student reduced to waiting tables for rest of life will STILL not "surrender". ie, admit the banruptcy of his own stupidity, to himself.
mircea_popescu: mike_c so write it! not like you write badly or anything.
mircea_popescu: mike_c now that's a point. yo cazalla ! BingoBoingo ! THE NEWS IS CHASING YOU!
mircea_popescu: yet there's bout to be some "what do you mean my 10 dollah gift certificate/reddit gold/whatever doesn't buy me anything!111"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda my plan : apply lessons learned in crowd repelling from mpex, mpoe-pr, bitbet practice.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> how is the being passed over without comment? Real actual bitcoin hosting! very cool. << i shudder at the thought of what'll happen once reddit & all gets wind of it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c one idea i had while falling asleep : would it be feasible to save a snapshot of wot.svg each night before update ?
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.SamouraiWallet.1:50703213f787e3e8ea139045fb255146259780f4cee3f37fc321152e8c59704f
